As much as you just talked about how much a wide receiver sends ripple effects and changes things for other receivers and tight ends and everybody else, a running back, I do think, affects more things. And the other part about this specific to Washington is the Commanders have a much bigger need at running back than wide receiver, and it's not particularly close. That’s not to say that they don't have need at both, but in terms of speed, they need that at running back more than they need it at wide receiver; if you add one of those players in the wide receiver room, you're fighting for targets behind Terry McLaurin, but in the running back room, this guy is getting work and I think could be a starter.”", '_version': 2, 'componentVariation': 'paragraph'}, 'original_ref': 'www.audacy.com/_components/paragraph/instances/cm9hpvzry001x357patxub015@published'}, {'data': {'text': 'Listen to the full discussion above!', '_version': 2, 'componentVariation': 'paragraph'}, 'original_ref': 'www.audacy.com/_components/paragraph/instances/cm9hpvzt0001y357pjpcx1s0x@published'}], 'feedImg': {'data': {'alt': 'Matthew Golden', 'url': 'https://images.radio.com/aiu-media/GettyImages2192780984-bcab83af-0f89-45e6-afad-51aa155aa4c1.jpg', 'width': 3096, 'credit': 'CFP/Getty Images', 'height': 2064, 'mimeType': 'image/jpeg', 'sizeInBytes': '531759', 'componentVariation': 'feed-image'}, 'original_ref': 'www.audacy.com/_components/feed-image/instances/cm9hpumfi000b01q1uvre0cln@published'}, 'sources': [], '_version': 24, 'featured': False, 'headline': 'G&D Debate: Would you rather a home-run hitter WR or a stud RB if the Commanders get an offensive weapon in Round 1?', 'msnTitle': 'G&D Debate: Would you rather a home-run hitter WR or a stud RB if the Commanders get an offensive weapon in Round 1?', 'textTags': ['Grant & Danny', 'Washington Commanders', 'NFL', 'Football', 'Heard on The Fan DC'], '_msnTitle': {'shouldOverride': False}, 'apContent': None, 'isOpinion': False, 'pageTitle': 'G&D Debate: Stud RB or Burner WR for Commanders in Round 1?', 'sideShare': {'original_ref': 'www.audacy.com/_components/share/instances/cm9hpumfi000c01q1199ksouu@published'}, 'feedImgUrl': 'https://images.radio.com/aiu-media/GettyImages2192780984-bcab83af-0f89-45e6-afad-51aa155aa4c1.jpg', 'feedLayout': 'small', 'showSocial': True, 'stationURL': 'https://www.audacy.com/thefandc', 'breadcrumbs': [{'url': '//www.audacy.com/thefandc', 'text': '106.7 The Fan', 'hidden': False}, {'url': '//www.audacy.com/thefandc/sports', 'text': 'Sports', 'hidden': False}, {'url': '//www.audacy.com/thefandc/sports/washington-commanders', 'text': 'Washington Commanders', 'hidden': False}], 'contentType': 'article', 'seoHeadline': 'G&D Debate: Stud RB or Burner WR for Commanders in Round 1?', 'stationName': '106.7 The Fan', 'stationSlug': 'thefandc', 'dateModified': '2025-04-14T23:52:21.633Z', 'featuredNews': True, 'sectionFront': 'sports', 'fullWidthLead': False, 'shortHeadline': 'G&D Debate: Would you rather a home-run hitter WR or a stud RB if the Commanders get an offensive weapon in Round 1?', 'syndicatedUrl': None, 'unityPageType': 'article', 'editorialFeeds': None, 'featuredSports': False, 'msnTitleLength': 116, 'seoDescription': 'Imagine if, when the pick is in at No. 29, Roger Goodell stuns everyone by announcing the Commanders have selected an offensive skill player.
